Hey Everyone,
Sand For Soapaholics was introduced to me by Fab Bag, the teeny tiny sample was just enough for two uses but it was so impressive that I had to buy some stuff from this brand. First up, I wanted to try the face cleansers and I bought 3 of them because the descriptions and ingredient lists were too good to resist. I have used them over a period of 3 months( Feb, March, and April ) and here is what I think.
After Glow Face Cleanser :
Price : 750/- for 100gm, 375/- for 50gm and 225/- for 30gm
Recommended For: All skin types/tanned skin

Key Ingredients: Masoor Seed Ext, Oil blend of Jojoba, Wheatgerm Seed, Hempseed, Almond Seed & Vit E, Aloe vera Ext, Almond Seed Ext, Honey, Turmeric, Ylang Ylang Ess.Oil
This one is for tanned skin, so if you spend long hours in the sun, then this cleanser is perfect to reverse the damage and revive the skin in the evening. I use this as a mask for a minute so that the ingredients get time to do their job and then follow by a gentle massage, using a circular motion. The cleanser also has a scrubbing effect, so you would not need an additional product to exfoliate your face. The result is soft, clean and brighter skin. It’s the best remedy for dull skin.
Oh Curcumal Face Cleanser :
Price : 500/- for 100gm, 263/- for 50gm and 158/- for 30gm
Recommended For: Normal to oily skin
Buy Online
Key Ingredients: Gram Flour Pdr, Turmeric Rhizome ext, Aloe vera Leaf Gel, Honey, Ess.Oil blend of Lemon Fruit, Tea Tree & Grapefruit, Oil of Turmeric Rhizome
This is my personal favourite from all the three that I have tried. In the beginning of this year, I had a wedding to attend so, lack of sleep, oily food, and too much of makeup resulted in a lot of acne. I decided to go au naturel in terms of products so I started using this cleanser along with Votre Face Serum as a moisturiser and the result was remarkable. It cleared my skin like nobody’s business. It does not claim to work on acne, but it worked for me, probably because of turmeric, tea tree and aloe vera present in it. The finely milled ingredients present in this cleanser work as a polishing scrub and I got a clear and glowing complexion in no time. The effect was so evident that it could be noticed by people around me. Highly recommended.
Face Puree Face Cleanser :
Price : 525/- for 100gm, 263/- for 50gm and 158/- for 30gm
Recommended For: Oily skin

Key Ingredients: Fresh Tomato, Oatmeal Seed Ext, Almond Seed Ext, Oil blend of Almond Seed & Grapeseed, Red Clay, Blend of Extracts of Ginger & Lotus Flower
The weather here in Mumbai is pretty humid and my face is an oily mess these days. I have been using this one all through the month of April. This cleanser is not too effective when used in a regular fashion so, I usually apply it as a face pack for two minutes and then massage followed by rinsing. It gives a slight tingly sensation due to tomato and ginger, it also has small black scrub particles which help in gentle exfoliating. It really pulls the oils and toxins from the face making it clean and the red clay makes it really soft and healthy, also it brightens up the face.
This Information is common for all the Cleansers
Directions to use: Take a small amount, mix with water and blend into a paste. Massage face for a minute and rinse off with warm water.
Shelf Life: 4 months from the date of packing.
“Info On A Silver Platter”
Natural ingredients are potent and might not go well with everyone but the good part is that they are chemical free, so if they suit your skin, it is worth including in your regime. (try the smallest size first) Also, they have a strong smell due to the presence of oils I am guessing. Although these cleansers are not effective in removing makeup, they do remove oil and dirt leaving a clean face that too without any harsh chemicals. They do not dry out the skin because of the oils. I use them as mask-cleanser-exfoliator, so they are quite versatile. I am quite impressed by these products and will try more from the brand, I am re-ordering Oh Curcumal too.
